Ever received an ugly sweater for your birthday that you cannot return but secretly know it costs more than a week's allowance for dinner? Yep, us too- let's change this precedent. Welcome to Changing the Present! This is a a place where young- broke- individuals can channel our energy (and your money) into some of the world's most important charities. We are the middle man that everyone loves! Think of us as the conduit to facilitating your altruistic needs. Welcome to CTP, our doors are open. I've assumed the responsibilities of working with the infamous NGO, Changing the Present, to assist the co-founder of the organization in his initiative to expand throughout the U.S from an office in New York City. I've implemented marketing tactics for campaigns, strategized for NGO expansion, and devised plans diagrams for other students to become fellow advocates for his mission to give wealth, wasted on materialistic items, to charities that render a better life . I've acquired the skills to properly network and collaborate with professionals in higher positions, such as the co-founder of CTP, and built relationships in the workplace that will foster an environment that you cannot help but thrive and prosper from. I've: --Reached out to student governments and organizations of various colleges all around America, especially the East Coast, to become campus reps and interns for CTP and to become advocates for FtT . --Successfully modified and controlled extensive clientele lists in order to find "Free the Textbooks" advocates. Whos ready to be a social media activist? --Organized a multitude of clientele lists on Microsoft Excel to assist co-founder, Robert Tolmach, in his mission to expand his NGO. --Brainstormed marketing tactics to spread the word about the petition for FtT (Free The Textbooks). --Developed strategies for the co-founder in order to expand CTP's network of interns, campus reps, ambassadors, and volunteers. The journey does not stop there.
